Connecting through Creative Expression
|
ARCreatives is a group of creative individuals who come together as a community to share stories through spoken word, poetry, narrative writing, film, music + production, and visual art. We meet for regularly creative arts groups throughout the month, including our member-led music and recording studio, our write to express group, social justice film collective, and our CoLab, where we explore various fields of art. Through identifying creative techniques that most resognate with us, we focus on expressing feelings and reflections, embracing the power and joy of creativity, and connecting with others.

A Healing Journey |

Our group is open to all ARC members and we welcome new project ideas from artists, instructors and facilitators. This is also a space to highlight members and showcase creative work.

Art can be one of the most powerful forms of healing and storytelling is one of the oldest forms of art. We believe that our stories are important to understand ourselves, to educate others, and to understand each other. Stories can be shared through written or oral form, and as poetry, lyrics, spoken word, narrative, film, and/or visual arts. Just as stories shape the way we perceive and interact with the world, and reveal essential aspects of ourselves, in the later years of life they help us recall the journey of our life, with all its trepidations and triumphs. Even when we are gone, our stories remain behind.
